I would take them YEARS to make a game of this magnitude with a small team. 70 team members isn't all that big either. You're reaching a little bit.

What's funny is EA is paying for a license that they don't even use now.

everywhere says 4, no source says 5.

But yeah, I get your point.

But with the competition, I think they lose 2-3 million.

When live was around, 2-3 million for an nba title was a success for either them or 2k

This statement is, sadly, SO true. Whenever anyone mentioned the probability of this happening, some folks went into immediate defense mode and denial. You either hated EA or was just trolling. At some point, people have to stop thinking with their hearts and use history as a teaching tool. This thing played out SO much like Elite, it truly is not funny.

This IS sad news. It's sad for the folks that hoped to see another quality title being available.

That's what I've been saying, 2k has been competing against themselves for years now, that's their only competition, to prove that they can make the next product better. People are assuming 2k will turn into EA, if Live is cancelled. We don't know what 2k basketball will be like when or if Live is cancelled, so all of this competition talk is just a excuse to buy a terrible game in my opinion. Competition has it's place but I don't think we should assume, I mean EA has tried to buy the NBA rights from 2k and they tried to buy Take-two. Competition is terrible either way because a giant like EA will just buy the competition out, and we are stuck with their product.

No, I don't think so. 70 is alot for a team that has just been assembled together with most of them not knowing the game engine or where the direction of the game is going. EAC sent probably one or two guys to tiburon..which is not really not doing much. How many of those people would you say are experience in game design? sports design? we don't know the specifics. EA said it themselves that they are bringing in more people to revamp the series to hit the ground running. They threw that number out there. Had they continued with the regular staff, I think it would have been a much better product. A small team, 2-3 years would have gave them live 13..vs hiring 70 people and starting in 2012 to create live 13..
